## 5a. Medieval Market

You're doing a Medieval Market in Feb/March.

Here, you are expected to prepare an exhibition on a medieval topic demonstrating your knowledge of medieval literature and history. It should contain a practical component (something you perform, craft or make) and a theoretical component (something in which you show off your knowledge regarding this subject).

You are allowed to think of your own topic. Below, you will find some suggestions to help you get started.

Suggestions

- a model of a Viking ship, including information on the Viking raids of England and the Scandinavian origins of Beowulf.
- a 3D animation of the fight between Grendel and Beowulf, including information on the medieval archetypal hero.
- a part of Beowulf or Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, put to music and performed live.
- a medieval New Year's feast, as it could have been served to King Arthur and his court.
- a model of Canterbury Cathedral, including information on the role of Christianity in medieval society.
- a map of the route taken by the pilgrims in Canterbury Tales, including information on the function of pilgrimages in medieval society.
